Assign User Roles
Assign OUs (Org Units) for Data Capture and Data Analysis
Data Capture Options
| Web | Android |
---|---|---|
Data Capture OUs | You can either assign the individual Org Units (normally the facilities and/or providers) that will be evaluated by the supervisor or you can select the parent OUs (like a province, or district), which will automatically make available all facilities/providers in that district/province | You should always assign the specific providers/facilities that the supervisor will manage. Assigning the parent district/province will not work |
Analytic OUs | You can select a provider, district or even the country, depending on the level of access that you want your user to have for analytics only. | This setting only affects analytics on the web, not on android. |
